Charles Joseph Fitzgerald

I was arrested in Maryland for a series of felonies and I got Mr. FitzGerald's name from one of the deputies who knew him from his days as a police officer. I did not get bonded out so I called his number on Sunday expecting to leave a message since no attorneys ever work weekends and most make you w...ait for 3 days before they return the call. Surprisingly Mr. FitzGerald answered immediately and told me he makes himself available 7 days a week and most hours of the day, since most arrests occur at night. Well I am glad I called. Although his fee was not the cheapest (you get what you pay for) it was worth it and more. He filed a bond motion the next day and I was out on Tuesday. Meanwhile he tracked down two of the witnesses and the officer and interviewed them at length. This helped when it came time to go to trial. In discussions with the prosecutor as to why the case against me was no good, he learned that the prosecution felt exactly the same way due to the evidence being suspect. I do not know how he was able to do so, but all charges were dropped. He is now preparing a civil suit for malicious prosecution. If you are arrested for any offense, felony, misdemeanor, dui, drugs, assault....anything, you have to call Mr FitzGerald. The other reviews he has are spot on. This guy is knowledgable, knows the system inside and out, is always available to call and speak to, when he says he will do something it gets done fast. Trust me this is the guy to call. He practices in local courts and federal courts (I know because my nephew used him in federal court...and won).

I hired Mr. FitzGerald after I fired another attorney because the other attorney was not responsive to my sons case. I was surprised to find out that when I called Mr FitzGerald's number he answered immediately. That just doesn't happen with lawyers. You usually have to wait a couple of days for... a call back. My son was charged with several armed robbery counts and firearm charges. Mr. FitzGerald immediately got in touch with the prosecutors office and the detective and went to work. He got discovery within 3 days and explained every aspect to me. He visited my son 3 times in a 5 day period and set forth a plan that had the prosecutor agreeing to drop all but one charge with a good chance that my son would be sentenced to less than two years based on sentence guidelines. He also started to work on the ICE detainer. My sons girlfriend was trying to influence Mr. FitzGerald to take some action that Mr FitzGerald said violated ethics and would not be beneficial to my son. Mr. FitzGerald refused and my sons girlfriend convinced me to change attorneys. I should have told her to mind her own business. Everything changed. The deal Mr. FitzGerald had worked out disappeared and my son had to plead guilty to several felonies. He will be sentenced to a long time in prison. Mr. FitzGerald is honest. He knows how the police work due to his former experience and he knows how to deal with the evidence and the prosecutors office. He handles federal and immigration cases as well. Mr. FitzGerald makes no promises, tells you exactly what is going on and is always available night and day. I wish I had never changed attorneys. I wish I had kept Mr. FitzGerald.
